Old and retired disabled. Guess my ticket couldn’t take any more.

We learned a lot about what it does to a person after that. Depression is certainly one of the grim realities of this sort of injury. It messes with everything…as such I am not surprised his demise was self prescribed. After that many strikes, I’m amazed he was as functional for as many years as he was. Staggering really.

Very much liked the style of it.
Thanks!

If the self reports and wounds are true then it is a great story. :-)

Thanks!”[/quote]

We do retain those retired posts in the database for the sake of transparency and all that. Here’s the link, which includes a brief explanation for why some posts are retired:
